<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi Everybody, Seems that taking a biopsy is slightly different here in Belgium than in the US. Here's the procedure i'm going through (for the second time, last one was juni 1994): 1.Since yesterday I have to take 20 drops of laxoberon (a strong laxativa) a day. 2.Tomorrow I'll be on a fluid-food diet. 3.friday = D-day: Enter hospital at 8.30 am (sober) Swallow 3 a 4 l of water with a terrible tasting stuff in it. In between the glasses drink an awfull syrup. I guess I do not need to describe the results of this morning... Around 3pm finally I can go for the biopsy. Am I living in the dark ages over here in Belgium? Many people told me about a 30-minute procedure over there (what a dream). Why must I go through this? Anyway, I will survive this friday, but I'd prefer a more comforatble biopsy...
